Hi,
If any takers for this , a onscreen keyboard for KDE could help
(i am not speaking from accessibility point of view) but more like
useful to type when in different language keyboards. I dont know if
there is any existing one already there (one time googling didnt
throw up any).
So based on language/locale (or current input language/keyb
layout ) the onscreen keyb will take that lang form (ie show layout
for that lang). So a user can either type from keyboard, taking clue
from the onsreen one, or just click on the keyb to type (input would
go to the active window).
bells & whistles could be - utilise IIIMF/SCIM layouts installed to
show keyb representation of them, some tutor/lessons to teach one
typing in a language, do some analysis of typing & tell u how
good/bad ur at it....etc.
not to completely reinvent the wheel, code could be learned from
- gok in GNOME, or

or
Devanagari typing tutor -
